Can you refute either of the facts I noted above...? -- Wafa free since 2009 In spite of the fact that there is no movement in Congress to re- implement the 'Fairness Doctrine' that would silence conservative talk radio, the Obama administration and Democrats on The Hill are working behind the scenes to accomplish that very goal without the Doctrine. With the appointment of Mark Loyd to the FCC as the nation's very first 'Chief Diversity Officer,' Obama hopes to accomplish the very things that the Fairness Doctrine would mandate. The main focus would be to force commercial radio stations to offer a 'diversity of opinion,' meaning of course that liberals would get equal time to promote their causes and concepts. Rather than get mired in the swampland of rules and regulations concerning how to do that, radio stations will simply cancel programs such as Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck. But this is not the only thing Loyd would do as Chief Diversity Officer. Loyd wants public broadcasting to be the dominant force in radio, overshadowing commercial stations. And, as we have cited before, he would do this by forcing commercial radio stations to pay a fee equal to their entire operating cost to the government in order to directly benefit NPR. However, more danger lurks just under the surface with regard to Loyd. Today, we discovered this: Lloyd draws on his experience lobbying the FCC during the Clinton administration, counseling would-be revolutionaries to follow the tactics used by other left-wing movements, such as the followers of Saul Alinsky and the people who ran the campaign to block Republican Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork. "We understood at the beginning, and were certainly reminded in the course of the campaign," wrote Lloyd, "that our work was not simply convincing policy makers of the logic or morality of our arguments. We understood that we were in a struggle for power against an opponent, the commercial broadcasters ...." In addition, Loyd makes it clear that the concepts pushed by extremist Saul Alinsky in his book, Rules for Radicals, would serve as the inspiration for his war on commercial broadcasting: "We looked to successful political campaigns and organizers as a guide, especially the civil rights movement, Saul Alinsky, and the campaign to prevent the Supreme Court nomination of the ultra- conservative jurist Robert Bork," wrote Lloyd. "From those sources we drew inspiration and guidance." In order to wrest control of broadcasting from private commercial interests to place it under government control, Loyd outlines 6 goals, which include vastly expanding NPR with money collected from commercial radio stations, expanding the FCC by setting up powerful regional hubs, and 'clear regulations over political commentary and advertising.' In other words, good-bye freedom of speech. But Loyd has an answer to critics who cry foul over his plan to muzzle First Amendment rights. He thinks that concern over the First Amendment is 'exaggerated': “It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press,” he said. “This freedom is all too often an exaggeration. At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies.” These examples make it clear that Obama intends to wage all-out war on conservative talk radio, free speech, free commerce through private radio broadcasting corporations, and new government regulations that control broadcast content. The First Amendment is simply an exaggerated concern that gets in the way. Yes, and all liberals want to kill your elderly, kick your dogs and eat your babies......... Can you guys get any more unhinged? I'm betting you can! |

Can you guys get any more unhinged? I'm betting you can! Do you understand the concept of incremental change. Obama and his minons in the House and Senate are idiots. They have decided that since they have a majority in the House and Senate and a Democrat in the White House they can move their big programs thorough faster and achieve their goals in a shorter amount of time. They see this as a means of cementing their legacy in the progressive movement and attaining God-like status. But, they didn't count on the US citizens resisting the Democrats desired changes. |

I am hoping I read down further and find the problem with the two incidents I noted above. They are both facts, in the case of the ACLU, the admit it freely on the website, and in the case of the New Black Panther Party, the video is everywhere. But alas, even when faced with video my friend Loogie can only avoid and deflect, and excuse bad behavior blaming it on other perceived bad behavior... sad... Yup it's all Bushes fault...
